Data sheet Choosing the right HP Z Workstation Our commitment to compatibility
HP Z WorkstationsPhoto help caption. you handle the most complex data, designs, 3D models, analysis, and information; but we don’t stop at the hardware—we know that leading the industry requires the best in application performance, reliability, and stability.
Software certification ensures that HP’s workstation hardware solution is compatible with the software products that will run on it. We work closely with our ISVs from the beginning – both in the development of new hardware and in the design of new software or a software revision. This commitment to partnership results in a fully certified HP Workstation ISV solution, and ensures a wholly compatible experience between hardware and software that is stable and designed to perform.
In this document, HP Z Workstation experts identify the workstations recommended to run industry specific applications. While many configurations are certified for each application, our recommendations are based on industry trends, typical industry data set sizes, price point, and other factors.
